This class will run if at least 3 students are enrolled by the Sunday preceding the class

Class Description: In this class we start with the basic blacksmithing skills which will set you on a path to forging the hardware, decorative articles and tools which were common throughout the Iron Age. These items were essential to our ancestors and were often forged with exceptional quality and striking beauty. All of this will inform our work.

Class space is very limited! Students will be registered in the order that their payments are received.

See you at the Forge! James Austin

Class Set-Up and Safety Considerations:

All necessary tools and materials will be provided for the students.

Students must bring their own safety glasses and wear them at all times in work areas (a few used pairs are usually available at the shop).

Students must wear snugly fitted, long-sleeved work shirts and long pants of cotton or wool (no nylon or polyester allowed) and firm, leather work-shoes.

Hearing protection is required and is provided in the shop in the form of foam ear-plugs. Students who need over-ear protection must provide their own.
